Foreach Loop Container with a Data Flow Task looking for file from Connection Manager
So I have a Data Flow Task within a Foreach Loop Container. The Foreach Loop Container has a Variable Mapping of User:FileName to pass to the Data Flow Task.
The Data Flow Task has a Flat File Source since we're looking to process .csv Files. And the Flat File Source has a Flat File Connection Manager where I specified the File name when I created it. I thought you needed to do this even though it won't really
use it since it should be getting its File name from the Foreach Loop Container. But when attempting to execute, it is blowing up because it seems to be looking for my test file name that I indicated in the Flat File Connection Manager rather than the file
it should be trying to process in User:FileName from the Foreach Loop Container.
What am I doing wrong here??? I thought you needed to indicate a File name within the Flat File Connection Manager even though it really won't be using it.
Thanks for your review...I hope I've been clear...and am hopeful for a reply.
PSULionRPThe Flat File Connection manager's Connection String needs to be set to reference the variable used in the ForEach Loop:

Excel Source cannot find sheet when using Foreach Loop Container
I have SQL Server 2012 SSIS. I need help with Foreach Loop container.
1) I have C:\\Excel\ folder and multiple Excel.xlsx files are stored there to be imported
2) I have Foreach Loop Container
-Foreach File Enumerator is selected
-Expressions are empty
-Folder is set as C:\\Excel\
-Files is *.*
-Variable is created. User::Filename, 0
2) I have created variable FileName, String,0
3) I have Excel Connection Manager
-ExcelFilePath = @[User::FileName]
4) I have data flow task with Excel Source and OLE DB Destination
Error occured with Execute:
[Excel Source [2]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E37.
[Excel Source [2]] Error: Opening a rowset for "SheetName$" failed. Check that the object exists in the database.
Kenny_IHi Kenny_I,
The issue occurs because you have not specified a valid value for the variable @FileName. The error persists even if we set the “DelayValidation” property of the Excel Connection Manager to True. After you assign a value like “C:\Excel\Test1.xlsx” (without
quotes) to the variable, the package should work fine.

SSIS Package to load multiple excel sheets using foreach loop container
I am creating a SSIS package which is accessing an excel file and then using a Foreach loop container to load each tab to sql server. However when I try to configure the Excel source, I get the following message
"The argument system_comobject cannot be converted into parameter type. Additional Information - Object must implement iconvertible (mscorlib)"
Any help to resolve would be much appreciated.
thanks
ScottIf the title is only using column D and the rest of the columns are empty on sheet1/row1
AND
if only sheet1 as headers,
THEN you can try something like the following
do NOT select row 1 as header or anything.
In your foreachloop > dataflow, you will start with EXCEL connection then Conditional Split inside which you will define one case for which expression should be like If column D has value like "Title expression" && Column A == "Column A Header
name" THEN yay or nay. You might want to look into
FINDSTRING function to assist with this (if you choose to use FINDSTRING, you are looking for !isNull for this case..If it finds the string you are looking for, it will pass an int value (title + header) if it doesn't find the string, it will pass
NULL (data)) or you can say If Column A, B, C,E,F,G...is NULL and D is NOT NULL && Column A = Column A Header string, then Case 1 else default.
The default output would be the real data.
So when sheet 1 is processing, you will have Case 1 output with 2 rows (title + header) and Default output with the rest of the rows (real data).
For other sheets, you will have Case 1 output with 0 rows (no title + header) and Default output with the data rows.
The above sln assumes that the data in each sheet is similar in datatypes and length perspective, you have defined input/output datatypes properly, and etc. -
Rename and move files on remote FTP server
Hello,
We have a scenario where XI transfers a file to a remote FTP server at partner end using File Receiver Communication channel.
These files are huge,so there is a risk of picking up incomplete files at their end when XI is still writing the file on their server.
Hence,we have decided to follow the approach which is already mentioned a number of times on SDN that XI would place a file with different name and in a different folder on partner's FTP server.
This would then be renamed and moved to the required folder on the same server.
This could easily be managed using a script at partner end but there are some problems when they are not able to do this.
Is there a possibility to achieve this using 'Run OS command after Message Processing' in XI when Source and target folders both are on partner's FTP server?
If yes,can anybody please provide code for such a script and corresponding setting for this parameter in XI Communication channel?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best Regards,
ShwetaHello,
Thanks for the reply.
But this has to be done in FTP session because the source and target directory both are on remote FTP server.
Instead,in SAP documentation,I found a parameter :
ftp.putSafe=YES|NO
Use this specification to define whether a transferred file is first created with a temporary name and only renamed once the transfer is complete (YES), or whether it is created with its final name at the start of the transfer (NO). The latter case can lead to problems if an application on the FTP server accesses the file before the transfer is complete. If you specify YES, this problem is avoided because the file only becomes visible with the search name when the transfer is complete.
The default value is NO.
Doesn't it serve the same purpose?Do we still need to write scripts?
I have tried to include this in Additional Parameters in Advanced Mode as:
ftp.putSafe YES
but I can't check in test system whether it is really working or not.I would like to confirm if it helps.
First of all,I would like to know if this setting works for XI3.0 SP17.
Can anyone please help.
Thanks.

Hello everyone.
Faced very strange issue with account, which is used to run SSIS package.
The specific package uses Foreach Loop Container to retrieve file names within the specified folder, and put them into Import file task.
The package is set up to run under specific service account. This service account is given all permissions (Full control) to the folder where source files reside.
So the issue is: SSIS package fails to execute this task (Foreach Loop Container and then Import), and shows that no files are found in the directory (although files ARE there).
Once we're adding the service account into local Administrators group on the SQL Server, it works! Removing - does not work again. We cannot leave the service account as SQL server's admin as it's prohibited by our IT policies, and is just a bad practice.
Any ideas, please?

File System Task - using a wildcard in variable
Hi,When using the "delete file" operation in the file system task I get an error stating that I have an incorrect path when using the wildcard symbol. Is there a way around this or do I have to spell out the whole name for each file in the
directiory. I cannot not use the "delete directory contents" operation because I have two sub directiories in my directory. I'm trying to use the following when I get the error
\\devbox\df\*.csv when I spell out whole name of the file it works. Any suggestions?
LISA86this cant be done like this. Only possible if you put file system task in for each loop container and perform deletion one at at time.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms140185.aspx
The File System task operates on a single file or directory. Therefore, this task does not support the use of wildcard characters to perform the same operation on multiple files. To have the File System task repeat an operation on multiple files or directories,
put the File System task in a Foreach Loop container, as described in the following steps:
Configure the Foreach Loop container On the Collection page of the Foreach Loop Editor, set the enumerator to
Foreach File Enumerator and enter the wildcard expression as the enumerator configuration for
Files. On the Variable Mappings page of the Foreach Loop Editor, map a variable that you want to use to pass the file names one at a time to the File System task.
Add and configure a File System task Add a File System task to the Foreach Loop container. On the
General page of the File System Task Editor, set the SourceVariable or
DestinationVariable property to the variable that you defined in the Foreach Loop container.

SSIS 2008 R2 Foreach Loop Container on ADO object in Endless Loop
SSIS 2008 R2
I have an object Variable populated by a SQL Query. I then attach it to a Foreach Loop Container with "Foreach ADO Enumerator" and define the variable mappings. Inside the Foreach Loop is a series of tasks. It appears that the
tasks are processing each of the rows in the Object but it also appears that the Foreach loop never stops but runs until I kill it. I was under the impression that the Foreach loop would stop when after the last row in the Object was consumed.
As it is now, the Foreach Loop is useless as it runs forever.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael
P.S. I have determined that the ADO object has a size or count limitation which if exceeded causes the Foreach Loop task to malfunction in both Studio and as an Agent job. I could not find a limit in MS docs, but there sure seems to be
a limit somewhere which everyone should be aware of. 5,000 rows exceeds the limit, in my case.A typical memory limit rather, especially noticeable in dev env where it is 32 bit

Error 0x800A0BCD in a foreach loop container
Hi
I ve two nested foreach loop containers, all tasks included inside run well but when i launch the package i meet a error :
0x800A0BCD to the output of
the internal foreach loop container
How to see what happens wrong and how to solve this issue ?
ThxThis is an invalid set up.
It is hard to see the image.
Do not expect to have both successful completions to spawn two absolutely parallel processes.
To make it run in parallel just use two DFTs with each that are not connected together. Not connected is the catch, if max executables is not tweaked the package will spawn parallel exes to execute both DFTs more or less asynchronously.

How can I load a .xlsx File into a SQL Server Table using a Foreach Loop Container in SSIS?
I know I've REALLY struggled with this before. I just don't understand why this has to be soooooo difficult.
I can very easily do a straight Data Pump of a .xlsX File into a SQL Server Table using a normal Excel Connection and a normal Excel Source...simply converting Unicode to DT_STR and then using an OLE DB Destination of the SQL Server Table.
If I want to make the SSIS Package a little more flexible by allowing multiple .xlsX spreadsheets to be pumped in by using a Foreach Loop Container, the whole SSIS Package seems to go to hell in a hand basket. I simply do the following...
Put the Data Flow Task within the Foreach Loop Container
Add the Variable Mapping Variable User::FilePath that I defined as a Variable and a string within the FOreach Loop Container
I change the Excel Connection and its Expression to be ExcelFilePath ==> @[User::FilePath]
I then try and change the Excel Source and its Data Access Mode to Table Name or view name variable and provide the Variable Name User::FilePath
And that's when I run into trouble...
Exception from HRESULT: 0xC02020E8
Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [56]]:SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occured. Error code: 0x80004005.
Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [56]]: Opening a rowset for "...(the EXACT Path and .xlsx File Name)...". Check that the object exists in the database. (And I know it's there!!!)
I don't understand by adding a Foreach Loop Container to try and make this as efficient as possible has caused such an error unless I'm overlooking something. I have even tried delaying my validations and that doesn't seem to help.
I have looked hard in Google and even YouTube to try and find a solution for this but for the life of me I cannot seem to find anything on pumping a .xlsX file into SQL Server using a Foreach Loop Container.
Can ANYONE please help me out here? I'm at the end of my rope trying to get this to work. I think the last time I was in this quandry, trying to pump a .xlsX File into a SQL Server Table using a Foreach Loop Container in SSIS, I actually wrote a C# Script
to write the contents of the .xlsX File into a .csv File and then Actually used the .csv File to pump the data into a SQL Server Table.
Thanks for your review and am hoping and praying for a reply and solution.Hi ITBobbyP,
If I understand correctly, you want to load data from multiple sheets in an .xlsx file into a SQL Server table.
If in this scenario, please refer to the following tips:
The Foreach Loop container should be configured as shown below:
Enumerator: Foreach ADO.NET Schema Rowset Enumerator
Connection String: The OLE DB Connection String for the excel file.
Schema: Tables.
In the Variable Mapping, map the variable to Sheet_Name, and change the Index from 0 to 2.
The connection string for Excel Connection Manager is the original one, we needn’t make any change.
Change Table Name or View name to the variable Sheet_Name.
If you want to load data from multiple sheets in multiple .xlsx files into a SQL Server table, please refer to following thread:

So we have an Invoice .xlsx File from a 3rd party vendor. It contains two worksheets..."Enrolled" and "Engaged". The data and data columns in each worksheet is different. Is it possible to loop through multiple .xlsx files using SSIS
and a Foreach Loop Container for each spreadsheet, and then another Foreach Loop Container to control each worksheet, and pump the Excel data into a SQL Server Table first for "Enrolled" and then for "Engaged"? How can I control the Foreach
Loop Container in SSIS to process ONLY the "Enrolled" worksheet first? And then the "Engaged" worksheet next?
I know I have multiples out here and I apologize for that...but right now it seems as though I take three steps forward and then two back.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks in advance!If the structure of the Excel sheets does not change from file to file then you can by having one ForEach Loop processing always the "Enrolled" sheet and another always the "Engaged" this is doable because the Excel OLEDB connector allows
to pick individual sheets, it is problematic therefore when sheet names themselves change.
MSDN has an example: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-ca/library/ms345182.aspx

SSIS: ForEach Loop Container Enumerates Same File
Trying to loop an Excel Directory. Have it in a ForEach Loop Container. It keeps looping the same file the amount of times the file pattern recognized; i.e Loop starts at report with 10 lines, there are 7 files that need looped...How
do I get it to loop all the files that need enumerated rather than just the default file path in the connection string?I have both path and file in foreach loop container...How many variables should I be using in my case? I have one (ExcelInput) declared in the foreach loop container and passing to Excel Connection string expression.
Hi jsorrisone,
One SSIS variable is enough in your scenario. In the Foreach Loop Container, we set the Enumerator to “Foreach File Enumerator”, specify the path of the source folder, keep the “Retrieve file name” option as “Fully qualified”, and store the full path of
the Excel file to the string type variable ExcelInput.
Then, add a Data Flow Task to the Foreach Loop Container, drag an Excel Source, create an Excel Connection Manager. After that, set the expressions for the Excel Connection Manager, and set the expression of “ExcelFilePath” property to @[User::ExcelInput].

Can I append the file name from a Foreach Loop Container Enumerator into a SQL Server Statement?
I would like to pass back via an Email the name of the file that was successfully FTP'ed to a remote server. And I was hoping to do this via an Execute SQL Task with the following SQL Statement...but I just don't know if it will append the Foreach Loop Container
variable enumerator to the appended Email message that I am building in SQL Server or if I can and how I can...
I sort of get the feeling that I can try and do this via Dynamic SQL...I just don't know if by building dynamic SQL if my Foreach Loop Container enumerator variable will be appended to my Email Message via the SQL Server UPDATE
@[User::FTPFHFileName]
Or do I add a Data Flow Task and an OLE DB Command and pass the Foreach Loop Container enumerator variable to a Stored Procedure referenced in the OLE DB Command via a "?"
